So the team behind this are Word Forge Games (wordforgegames.com) and the creators of the Heroes system: Yann, Clem and Jules.

We came together as a team in 2025, once Yann, Clem and Jules got their IP back from the failed company ‘Pig from Hell’. Pig from Hell was owned by an individual that has absolutely nothing to do with this project.

We are working to get the game, Heroes of the Pacific, to the backers that supported the failed Kickstarter campaign. We are investing a lot of money and time to do this and have seen nothing from the previous Kickstarter campaign. We are also offering the game to everyone else.

Unfortunately we cannot confirm the nature of any pledge made on Gamefound, but we recognise that a number of backers pledged there.

BUT we would like to make an offering to Gamefound backers with the Gamefounder level pledge:

This pledge level is specifically for Gamefound backers who backed on Gamefound. It is a complementary gesture that we can safely make without jeopardising Word Forge Games.

What do I need to do to qualify for this pledge level?

1. Be a pledger of Heroes of the Pacific on Gamefound.
2. Send proof of your pledge to [email protected]. The email should be titled: ‘HotP Gamefound Proof’. This should be a screen grab of your Gamefound receipt.
3. Pledge for the ‘Gamefounder‘ pledge level.
4. With your proof and pledge we are all good. If not we will be in touch.

NOTE: This pledge is only for ‘new backers of Heroes of the Pacific ‘Pig from Hell’ campaign on Gamefound’ NOTE II: This is an offer made from Word Forge Games, who have no obligation whatsoever. We expect honesty and politeness in our interactions. Please bear with us as we process these pledges.

Yes Heroes of the Pacific will be available in French and English. You will confirm your choice of language in the Pledge Manager. Pledge manager happens after the campaign when you also confirm your address and pay for postage.

No matter which level you pledge at, our intention is to get you your pledge reward in 2026. Presently, the vast majority of the product is laidout and we have a manufacturer lined up. Once the pledge money has cleared we will start sending the files we have ready to the manufacturer and work with them to get the boxes and inserts designed. Obviously, we will keep you updated as we progress.

There’s two: 1. Complete your pledge manager by the deadline. We will be clear on that date and share it often via updates. If you have not completed your pledge manager by the deadline, we will not be able to get you your pledge rewards in a timely or cost effective manner. If you complete it within a year of the deadline, we will honour your rewards (whilst stock lasts), but likely the rewards will be delayed in us completing them AND liable for added postage/handling charges/storage fees. If completed after a year of deadline (or not completed at all), your pledge reward will be donated to a charity of our choice.

1. It’s amazing we have to say this BUT: Be kind and courteous. Rudeness or abuse from you will be seen as a decision to forfeit your pledge reward. We are here to make games and have fun doing it, not to be a vent for you.

Well, we, Word Forge Games, are massive fans of our community, both the creators, artists, designers, manufacturers, producers and community as a whole, including you the players and the pledgers. People pledging and not getting their rewards is rubbish, designers and creators seeing their dreams turn to nightmares is rubbish and it’s even more rubbish when this happens due to the actions of bad players.

This is the 3rd project we have rescued, firstly we made good on Airborne in your Pocket and D-Day Dice, with the designer Emmanuel Aquin and then the roleplaying game and game company, SLA Industries and Nightfall Games. Across these 3 games, we have made good on others poor actions for around 4000 pledgers. It makes us feel good. BUT what it also does is give us collaborators and friends for the rest of our days. Dave and Jared at Nightfall are now in their golden age and Nightfall Games has gone on to produce more SLA Industries products since WFG involvement (7 years) than was done in the prior 25 years (and they were previously part of Wizards of the Coast and Cubicle 7). Nightfall is also producing other games too including licensed products with The Terminator and Hellboy franchises. Emmanuel Aquin, designer of D-Day Dice and Airborne in your Pocket, and Word Forge now have a long history and he officially joined our team as an employee working on developing new games and producing other by other designers. Look out for Airborne Commander and Pocket Nautilus.

WFG hope we can repeat this success with Yann, Clem and Jules.

And finally we are ‘Heroes’ fans, we want more and are very very excited to be part of the Heroes future.
